trogdoro / xiki Goto Github PK

I'm new to ruby and I want to make some changes to this code. Could someone help me build this?

Thanks

I tried to install xiki on ubuntu lts, it does not work for me.

First step, i installed ruby1.9.3, changed /etc/alternatives/ruby, check ruby -v.

Cloned the git repo and ran

  $ sudo gem install bundler
  $ sudo bundle
  $ sudo ruby etc/command/copy_xiki_command_to.rb /usr/bin/xiki

Everything seemed fine, no errors.

ran xiki web/start. Only a newline was printed. ran xiki readme. The same thing happend. Checked /tmp/xiki_web.output. Got a error about ol.rb not being found by require. ran ruby, evaluated $:. Made a symlink /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/xiki (which was included in $:, yes in version 1.9.3.) to /home/rtzui/xiki/lib/xiki.

Ran xiki web/start again, again no output, but in the logfile the port for the webserver was given. Open the port with chrome and firefox, got a blank page. The source contained code, and it was barely more than <title>, jquery inclusion and a css. One page of code, ( $(window).focus, $('a').click and $('body').keypress). It did not respond to keystrokes, not even after clicking it in an attempt to give focus.

Removed the symlink in /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1 to reproduce the first error. Xiki runs like it always did without any output, but no logfile was updated. ran xiki stop; killall ruby; rm /tmp/xiki*, reran xiki web/start. No logfiles where created, only /tmp/xikirequest and /tmp/xikiresponse. Nothing listened on port 8161.

In the hole time of not working, never ever printed a useful error message or a message at all, only one ruby error about the failed "require" and about the http server.

My steps:

git clone git://github.com/trogdoro/xiki.git
cd xiki
bundle install --binstubs
bin/xiki

The result:

/usr/local/var/rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p429/lib/ruby/1.9.1/forwardable.rb:204: stack level too deep (SystemStackError)

I'm trying out xiki for the first time.

I'm using rvm with ruby 1.9.3-head.

I followed the git install instructions, and everything went fine:
$ git clone git://github.com/trogdoro/xiki.git
$ cd xiki
$ # sudo gem install bundler <- already installed, so didn't run this
$ bundle
$ # ruby etc/command/copy_xiki_command_to.rb /usr/local/bin/xiki <- not needed, bundler installed a /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head/bin/xiki file that is earlier in my path than /usr/local/bin/xiki anyway

But then:
$ xiki
/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-head/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/dependency.rb:247:in `to_specs': Could not find xiki (>= 0) amongst ...

Ok, fine, let's try this:
$ bin/xiki
... works fine ... or:
$ bundle exec xiki
... also works fine

So, moving on:
$ bin/xiki web/start
uninitialized constant Xiki::Menu::ErbHandler

Error:

I just started giving xiki a shot. When using the google images command from the introduction, I get the following message:

Firefox is installed on my machine (but not the default browser)

Followed your install instructions, no errors. Running things like xiki and xiki directory from the terminal work as expected. Opened aquamacs and tried doing a couple simple commands (e.g. $ ls -la) and nothing happened when I double clicked or hit cmd+enter. Followed your debugging tips and there were no errors listed.

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04, running Ubuntu packaged ruby. I installed xiki via gem install.

Any help with the issue below would be appreciated :). Thanks.

Now when executing Step 2, I get the following errors:

At the end of this issue you can find the whole emacs log
I'm using Aquamacs Emacs.app on OSX Mountain Lion

The error shown is "error: el4r-instance is dead. "

Has anyone experienced it?
TIA.

The problem is that fork is not available on Windows platform. The problem could be solved by using fork-like techniques on Windows. One way to do that cross-platform way would be to use the gem childprocess.

The README claims, "you don't have to know emacs to use it with Xiki". As a long time vi user who has no experience what-so-ever with emacs, this seemed promising.

I followed all the steps to install, but Step 3 leaves me completely hanging. If I just run emacs from a term window, it opens a new window and says "Welcome to GNU Emacs..." Somehow I managed to click something (no idea what) that created a split window that says "el4r started... etc. etc.". Now what? How do I get from here to using Xiki?

I can run the xiki shell command to do things like xiki status (it's running), and xiki docs/Introduction, but none of this tells me how to get to a point where I can do anything.

How about a step 4 in the README for those of us that truly don't "know emacs" that gets us from step 3 to a $ echo 'Hello, World!' example? I'm sure I'm just a command/click or two away from being able to do the cool stuff in the screencasts, but I have no idea where to go from here.

I'd think emacs installs would go smoother if you considered your audience when dealing with emacs users.... ;)

I found that by moving the contents of the ~/.emacs file into the proper ~/.emacs.d/init.el file, it actually worked. If I left the it the way http://localhost:8161/emacs-setup tried to do it, it was giving me errors. I could look into updating some of the html files for you, and having it just prompt the user with text, instead of automatically over-riding their setup.

Could you provide everything needed to run this as a Melpa installed package? If so, that would make this so much easier to get running in 20 seconds, instead of 20 minutes.

Otherwise, this seems really awesome!

Git dirs are not recognized, then creating as suggested, clearly shows re initializing, making it clear there actually was a git dir.

- ~/temp3/
  + ok
  - @git/
    | Not a git repository.  Create a new one here?
    - setup/create/

If you take a look at lib/menu.rb, lines 637-640 (see https://github.com/trogdoro/xiki/blob/67b775107d303e9c54dce8b775268308e3fa60d8/lib/xiki/menu.rb#L631-640 for more context), you find this:

      elsif
        do_launch = true
        Tree.path.last
      end

This is treated as:

      elsif (do_launch = true)
        Tree.path.last
      end

Judging by the warning it raises:

/home/nick/.gem/ruby/1.9.1/gems/xiki-0.6.3/lib/xiki/menu.rb:638: warning: found = in conditional, should be ==

If it is intended as elsif do_launch = true, it needs to be changed to that or laid out differently to avoid the warning; otherwise I'm guessing the elsif likely needs to become an else.

Following the steps as outlined in the wiki, and when I run emacs, I get the following error:

Hey guys,

I've been watching your windows progress and I noticed a cygwin pull request

Is there any news on msys support?

Here is a sample msys bash package
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/
You get loads of linux commands on windows and this way and it is still native. :)

I've been having all kinds of issues installing Xiki on Mac. I never use Ruby though.

This was relevant to get it to install. But then I ran xiki docs and nothing. No menus were created...

I thought I was in the wrong repo until digging a bit further...

First of all, let me congratulate for xiki ;-) It looks amazing :-)

I was trying to use it from AquaEmacs but I am stuck in Step 2. I installed xiki from GitHub as you indicate without any problem and running "xiki" on my shell seems to work perfectly.

This is what I get when executing "sudo bash etc/install/el4r_setup.sh" from the xiki directory:

mac507514-7:xiki gtv$ sudo bash etc/install/el4r_setup.sh
ruby: No such file or directory -- setup.rb (LoadError)
ruby: No such file or directory -- el4r-rctool (LoadError)
ruby: No such file or directory -- el4r-rctool (LoadError)
mac507514-7:xiki gtv$

Not a Ruby expert (or newbie ;-) ) so any help is more than appreciated.

Thank you very much!

I've been digging around in the xiki internals to try to figure out what's going wrong myself, but I'm lacking some knowledge about how things are getting resolved, so I'll just post my symptoms here, and what I've found so far. (I'm in ruby 1.9.3, installed via rbenv and ruby-build on Fedora 19 linux)

I'm not using emacs, I intend to use the sublime text plugin, which has other issues, but my most pressing issue at the moment can be reproduced by calling xiki from a shell.

When I run xiki docs (or xiki #{any menu from the lib/xiki/tools directory}), I get the MenuSuggester no-menu-found output:

> Menu doesn't exist yet
| Create it?  Make your menu by creating one of these...
+ text file/
+ items/
+ notes/
+ code/
+ more/

Also, I can't find the documentation for it right now but I think I should be able to run xiki @menu and access the Menu singleton from Ruby, but instead I get the following output (which is the same for every other singleton I could think to try, including xiki @launcher:

@flash/- No menu or pattern defined!

All menus other than those two categories that I've tried seem to work, including menus from ~/menu.

I've been able to get the tools loading by setting export MENU_PATH=#{xiki_dir}/lib/xiki/tools before invoking xiki, but I think this is not supposed to be the way they get loaded...

Playing around a bit with the xiki internals, I've found that the tools are indeed getting correctly loaded into Launcher.menus, but I'm not sure how they get resolved from there or why that isn't working.

I get no errors in /tmp/xiki_process.rb.output

I've tried walking my local repository back ~100 revisions or so to see if a slightly older version of xiki didn't have the issue for my setup, but the issue remained as I went backward until other issues started cropping up.

I'm happy to give the output of any debug command you want me to run. I'm also comfortable fetching internal variable values from Ruby for you if that helps. I'd also be happy to write a patch myself if we can get me pointed in the right direction for it.

If you want to chat about it or walk through some tests live, I can usually be found lurking on irc.freenode.net as |jemc|.

Let me know what I can do to help!

sh: 1: rsvg: not found

I found somewhere that this is bug in librsvg package so i've symlinked

rsvg-convert into rsvg

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/rsvg-convert /usr/bin/rsvg

and now I have errors with:

Maybe it's something version specific, I'm using emacs snapshot from PPA.

• Ubuntu 12.04
• GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1
• ruby 1.9.3p125 (2012-02-16 revision 34643) [x86_64-linux]

xiki works ok from shell.
Step by step installation without problems.

I've tried it on newest compiled version of rsvg downloaded from sourcforge but result are the same.

--- UPDATE ---
ON newest clean arch linux with newest ruby - I have the same problem.

I followed the instructions for installation via github and then ran the shell command "xiki". The output I get is this:

> Summary
The 'xiki' shell command is mostly meant to be called by programs
that want to interface with Xiki.  But it is sometimes useful for
people to call it directly.  Example usages:

$ xiki ip
$ xiki docs/faq

> Setting up your editor
The most common way to use Xiki is from a text editor.  For
example, from in a text editor, typing "tables" on any blank line
and then double-clicking on it (or typing control-enter or
command-enter) to browse and update your mysql database.

See the README.markdown file in the Xiki dir for help setting up
your editor. You can view it by typing this command or going to
this url:

$ xiki readme

https://github.com/trogdoro/xiki

> Service
The 'xiki' shell command automatically runs a service in the
background to keep things fast.

% xiki status
% xiki stop
% xiki restart

> Interfaces
Xiki can be used from...
- A text editor
- The 'xiki' shell command
- The http://xiki/ url in your browser (experimental)

For more information type:

$ xiki docs

> Troubleshooting
A couple commands to help you trouble-shoot:

% bundle install
% xiki readme

    from /usr/local/bin/xiki:2:in `load'
    from /usr/local/bin/xiki:2:in `<main>'

I have tried the gem installation too, with a similar error.

I wrote mysql or bootstrap. My emacs give "Error raised ruby" error. And cant run some commands (mysql, bootstap etc).

Distro: Ubuntu 13.04
Editor: Emacs23 GTK
Ruby Platform: Rvm 1.21.3 on Ruby 1.9.3-p448

The instructions say to use

$ sudo bundle

but this outputs

Don't run Bundler as root. Bundler can ask for sudo if it is needed, and
installing your bundle as root will break this application for all non-root
users on this machine.

Should the instructions be changed?

RVM & Ruby 1.9.3-p286
Mac OS X 10.7.5
ZSH

Ran into a minor issue when running el4r_setup.rb. I'm using RVM and tried sudo gem install xiki first, without realizing I didn't need the sudo. This created the folders in my .rvm/.../gems folder with root permissions, including the files for Xiki and Trogdor.

when i ran el4r_setup.rb (non-sudo), it did not have the permissions required to create the .config file in the trogdoro-el4r-1.0.7. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling xiki, which didn't remove the trogdoro-el4r files and failed again. of course, i could have just sudo'd. i ended up just reinstalling both gems under my user and its all good, so not really an issue. awesome work, can't wait to use it!

As mentioned here , despite the fact that the Sublime Text plugin does as its supposed to, and calls to the xiki shell command, many of xiki's features still don't work. I'm assuming this means these specific features will need integration on the xiki end. Some pointers on how I could help make sublime text integration better would be much appreciated.

I spend time split between Atom and Vim, but it probably wouldn't be too bad to get Atom + Xiki playing well together.

Hi!

Is there a way to make Xiki available on vim or is it too attached to emacs?

Thanks for making this happen! The concept is amazing! :)

I cannot start firefox with the @app/Firefox/ command.

I believe the launcher only works for Mac apps. I created a directory called Applications under my home dir and hacked the app.rb file to see it. Then I created a sh script that launches firefox when called. I named it Firefox.app in the Applications folder I created. This does launch firefox, but it blocks and freezes emacs.

Also, when a firefox instance is already running it seems xiki cannot connect to it on linux.

I am using arch linux.

Please ask me if you making changes to my emacs config. Please tell me the full path to where backups reside.

The install instructions for cloning from GitHub are currently like this:

$ git clone [email protected]:trogdoro/xiki.git
$ cd xiki
$ sudo gem install bundler
$ sudo bundle install --system
$ sudo ruby etc/command/copy_xiki_command_to.rb /usr/local/bin/xiki

...however, the first line prompts for an SSH key. In order for others to be able to clone the repo, the first line should be changed to:

$ git clone https://github.com/trogdoro/xiki.git

I Installed using the instructions to install from git hub just now.

I tested while logged in as root with "xiki ip" and got the expected result.

As root I ran "xiki stop"

I went to a normal user account having realised I was still logged in as root.

$ xiki status
xiki_process.rb: no instances running

$ xiki start
nil

$ xiki ip
nil

It turns out a bunch of files were left over in /tmp that reference xiki and once these were deleted life got better, though I did see errors about /tmp/ being world-writeable, though they do not get to the editor.

I have Xiki (mostly) working on OS X 10.8.2, installed from the repo, using Aquamacs and Ruby 1.9.3 via rvm.

If I type$ ls and double click, the directory listing appears, but if I try to double click on a listed file or directory I get an error like this:

      - tried to run: proc { |l| Console.launch(:sync => (true)) }
      - error: can't dup NilClass

        /Users/jack/src/xiki/lib/xiki/launcher.rb:280:in `launch'

I tried installing all the gems listed in the 'Issues Loading Xiki' file (except xiki/cassandra which doesn't seem to exist?) to no avail.

Any ideas?

xiki seems to be unbearably slow on a mac / with aquamacs... Takes around 20 seconds to open a menu item... Looking at the el4r log in /tmp, there seems to be A LOT of communication going on...

I found this thread talking about the same (http://old.nabble.com/Xiki-and-aquamacs-td34289927.html), which sounded like a workaround had been put into place?...

I just realized there are a bunch of tests in plain UnitTest (test folder) we should change those to rspec to have all test together.

I was excited when I saw that emacs was already supported.

I was less excited when I set it up and it changed the entire appearance of emacs.

It seems like the visual changes should be moved into an optional bit that you can add if you want, because emacs users are going to be scared off if their carefully crafted config gets stomped all over by something that is supposed to just be dealing with text.

It's ok if it changes the font and colors inside xiki-specific buffers, but my editor windows need to stay how they are and the status bar and mini-buffer need to be left alone.

Hi Craig,

I've finally managed to get Xiki running in my favourite editor Sublime Text 3 :)
A lot of commands seem not to work because $el is not defined.

I was wondering if it would be possible to create a xiki interface (maybe REST as you're already using sinatra) that allows editors to just send the entire file + the cursor position, have xiki figure out all the nesting and command execution stuff by itself, and return either just the result or the entire file with results added to the text.
This way editor plugins could be as trivial as "send text there, replace current buffer with returned text".
I would enjoy pairing up with you on that if you want, I'm living in Germany but we'll surely find a time :D

Thanks for developing this unbelievably cool tool, I can visually see doors opening with Xiki!
Martin

--version is the first thing I do with any command, to verify it's installed properly.

Current version from git throws an exception. Kinda bad form ;)

Thanks,
-- Chad

So I installed Xiki successfully (using RVM, not default ruby), and then ran xiki web/start, and I proceeded to create all three configuration files. When I then start Aquamacs, I get:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/caleb/.emacs':

Symbol's value as variable is void: /Users/caleb/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.0@global/gems/trogdoro-el4r-1.0.10/lib/el4r/el4r-sub.rb:537:

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

What's happening?

sorry for don't send a pull request, but I don't know ruby

Run in vim command XikiLaunch()

I think it may be nice to say that windows is unsupported in the README -- I'm trying to discover if it should work there -- even if I need to get cygwin, but so far it seems it's not, so, it may be nice to at least state that in the README so that windows users (such as myself) know that before downloading it...

When listing directories for a remote host, folders with spaces are not handled correctly.

For example, if I go to:

/[email protected]/home/kbrandt/
 + test folder/

And try to expand "test folder", I get:

 " + test: no such file or directory"
 " + : no such file or directory"

I noticed that Xiki has a big list of dependencies, is rspec really needed in production?
Are there other gems which could be refactored away?

Entering command like:
tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

will freeze Emacs. Is there a way to "kill" command? I am not an Emacs user, so maybe there is a simple solution :)

P.S.: fantastic concept, I was pondering why there is nothing like Xiki but now there is :)
